I have just opened a flickr pro account so my pictures will be available via their feed and in my blog and wiki via the slideshow widget while that continues to work. Here’s some of my most recent favourites as of today.

Candidates for London Labour’s Board
And we begin the run in to Labour’s London Region Conference, Momentum are indicating who thy’d like supported here. I shall be supporting this list and believe that most of the Left will also do so. As ever, this is a two stage process of nomination by CLPs and then voting at Conference.
In addition, CLPs can also make nominations for the positions of Chair, Vice-Chair, Women’s Officer, Disabilities Officer, Ethnic Minorities Officer, LGBT Officer, as well as two representatives on the National Policy Forum. These positions will be elected by an electoral college, of which CLP delegates will hold 50% and affiliates will hold the other 50%:
- Chair – Jim Kelly
- Vice Chair – Seema Chandwani
- BAME Officer – Taranjit Chana
- LGBT Officer – Lucio Buffone
- Disability Officer – Rob Lugg
- Women’s Officer – Alison McGarry
- NPF – Adrian Weir
- NPF – Elly Baker
Lewisham Deptford is in CLP Division 4, together with the London Assembly constituencies of Greenwich & Lewisham and Bexley & Bromley, we are supporting the candidacies of Munir Malik and Dorinda Duncan as Board members representing Division 4.

Beware there be Bears!
London Zoo’s Bears are at Whipsnade, which is closer to me than Marwell, and I am not sure Marwell have them! …
Intrusion
Is it just me, or are Google’s ads becoming even more intrusive. How does that work, why am I getting shit loads of ads from Wix, udemey, Monday project management, Arsenal sponsored trading software and for phone games! Why are they interrupting stuff made by other people when I have paid for half the infrastructure? Is there another podcast, vlogging plaform?
Oi Google, you can loose eyeballs by posting too much ad-shite! …
Newly in the public domain
Today is a great day; in the USA, works written/created in 1922 become available under the public domain as the 1970’s extension laws durations expire. This is recorded by Ars Technica, in an article entitled, Mickey Mouse and Batman will soon be public domain—here’s what that means. This headline is misleading since these properties won’t become PD until the 2030s. Don’t quite get the maths myself since the international treaties talk of 70 year durations and this looks like 95 years but we do know that this was an exercise in corrupt lobbying power but it would seem that “I’ve got you Babe”, written by the Congressional sponsor of the second extension law, yup, they did it twice, expires in 2060; don’t think I’ll be around to enjoy it for free. What a greedy twat!
